NOTES.
_Note 1, p. 16._—_It is a journey of two days from Brússa to the top._
The summit is easily reached in nine hours, on horseback, the journey
having been accomplished in that time by the Translator, in the company
of Mr. Stratton, the British Minister, and B. Bielfields, the Prussian
Chargé d’affaires, in the year 1804. Evliya evidently places the time
necessary for rest, and Turkish indolence, to the account of the length
and difficulty of the road.
